In a speech during a ceremony commemorating Talib Sami Abdallah, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said: "Martyr Abou Talib believed in [the success of] this front and in the major confrontation that has been ongoing since October 7th."
"He was the first field commander to open a front in support of Gaza," he added.
In his speech, Nasrallah said that the Gaza "support front" is still active, carrying out operations and making sacrifices.
He pointed out that one of the strongest signs of its effectiveness is the "distress evident in the cries of Israeli leaders."
He clarified that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want the northern front to become a significant battleground and "hides the losses we inflict on him."
The Hezbollah Secretary-General noted that "our front and others are actively involved in negotiations to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza," adding that the Israeli side "rushes to fabricate false victories to present to its audience."
